Given I have been able to cast some bigger subjects the past few years, I am thinking of doing a small RCW era gunboat in 15mm. It would have a few choices for weapons (76mm 1902, 3pdr, MGs)and would be around 10" long. The price would be in the $25-28 range but I would offer a discount for pre-orders. It would be a paddle type that would be fairly generic. What say you all? If there is strong interest I'll start today:) Dave G

That would make a superb addition to the sole WWI/RCW "picket boat" currently available from Peter Pig (6.5" long). Allen |

Assuming it would not also look too out of place on the Tigris in 1917/18 I am in. Regards Alan |

Here is my inspiration. Although I originally found this drawing in another source, it was the basis for the first paddle steamer I did. picture
Many of the smaller Tigris craft had 3pdr armament, which would be one of the armament options.
Here is the deal- it would sell for $29. USD I will take pre-orders ar $22 USD and I need to get EIGHT confirmed pre-orders minimum to to this. Send the pre orders to my e-mail at ptdockyard@yahoo.com Dave G

$29 USD doesn't sound all that bad at all. I just happen to be getting into this general period. -Eli |

I don't know how generic you can make them but good lowcost gunboats for the Sudan etc… could be a good move. I ended up getting the PeterPig one as a treat to myself (I was a good boy) but did agonise over it because of the price. Steve P |

So far pre-orders stand at one (1). I have the plans all ready but am working on other projects pending more up front interest. |

Just come into the whole RCW 15mm thing can I add my name to the list for a model should it be made, many thanks. That's an absolute definite must have |

OK. Up to 3 maybe 4 in a few days. May need to dig some plans out :) Don't forget I have a couple score of 1/600 RCW riverine along with rules! link

Dave,
I'm good for one of those 15mm RCW gunboats.

I am planing recreating battle of Chernobyl for some time but I will probably need something smaller than 15mm :) |
| JD Lee | 13 Dec 2013 8:30 a.m. PST |
Not rushing but any updates on this? |

Maybe this summer team. We are still icebound here. There have been several changes in the mold supplies I use since this was posted and I have to think long and hard how toi make it now. Still viable! |
| Sir Marcus | 09 Mar 2014 6:09 a.m. PST |
Well, I'm glad to hear it is still a possibility. Could make for some fun gaming! |

Would there still be interest if this was more of a Greenport launch or one of the armored launches? Looked over the paddle steamer and with my equipment and the new mold rubber I am just asking for trouble. These two types of armed launches were ubiquitous and well armed with either 37mm, 47mm or 75mm howitzers. |
| ptdockyard | 19 Jun 2014 4:42 p.m. PST |
These are what I am considering BK Armored Gunboat
These had both 76mm or 3pdr and were moved around from front to front.
Greenport launch. Used by Reds on the Volga and Whites on Lake Onega:

Dave,
I'd be interested in both. |
| JD Lee | 21 Aug 2014 4:02 p.m. PST |
I would be interested in both as well!
But if you do one it would probably be the BK Armored Gunboat.
Thanks |
| ptdockyard | 21 Aug 2014 6:10 p.m. PST |
OK. Messages received! There are several gun configurations for both, especially the BKs. Dave G

Sorry guys- I have to throw in the towel on this one for now. For my little process it is sorry to say too big. I am looking for a different mold rubber that may work better but for now this is on hold. I am truly sorry. Dave G |

I have been waiting almost 5 years hahahahahhahhahahahaha! |
